Liverpool transfer news: Jürgen Klopp ‘set $220million offer’ amid Khéphren Thuram update

Liverpool transfer news: A director of football has provided an update on Khéphren Thuram, as Jürgen Klopp is allegedly preparing an unlikely offer.

Following the signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool transfer chatter in recent weeks has focused more on departures than arrivals. But that could soon change. With Jordan Henderson confirmed to be leaving the club and Fabinho set to follow, Liverpool are entering a crucial phase of the transfer window.

As usual, gossip and transfer rumors are circulating and many names have been linked with a move to Anfield. It is obvious that Liverpool need to strengthen in several positions to replace the missing and solve some problems in Jurgen Klopp’s team.

As the Premier League draw ever closer, the club’s recruitment team face a busy period, which will no doubt focus on recruiting reinforcements ahead of the club’s first game against Chelsea.

Whether this will happen remains to be seen. But based on current reports, it’s certainly clear that Liverpool are active and busy in the market.

Khephren Thuram (Nice)

Thuram has been linked with a move to Liverpool all summer but reports of his future have died down a bit lately. However, the recent declaration of the Nice sporting director Florent Ghisolfi caused a sensation again.

Speaking at a press conference, Ghisolfi appeared to hint that the door could be open for Thuram to leave the club this summer.

“Thuram and Todibo are in demand. We hope to keep all our key players, but we have never matched any player. If all parties are satisfied, there could be an exit,” Ghisolfi said as quoted by Get French Football News. Liverpool.com says: Thuram is a fantastic player and could be a huge improvement for Liverpool’s midfield. Based on these comments from Nice’s sporting director, it certainly appears that the French side are open to a deal and given Liverpool’s need to invest in midfield, it would come as no surprise if the club moved the Frenchman further.

Thuram’s energy and tactical intelligence could bring a lot of excitement to the club, and he has just the kind of profile Klopp needs to invigorate his side.

Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint Germain)

There can be no summer in which Mbappé’s future is not in doubt at Paris Saint Germain. Once again the French star appears willing and once again Liverpool have been approached as potential suitors. Spanish site El Nacional reports that Liverpool are preparing a $220m (£172m/€200m) package for Mbappé, with Klopp having already assured him he would play on the Reds’ left wing.

Liverpool.com says: Mbappé is one of the best players in the world and there’s no denying that Liverpool would love to include him in the club’s squad. But it is a distant dream. Even with the sale of Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia, Liverpool simply don’t have the funds to buy Mbappé.

The tight budget of the FSG does not allow it. Not to mention that even though Mbappé is world class, it’s unclear whether – even if Liverpool had the money – it would be a wise move to spend it on him, given the club have other areas before signing a attacker should give priority.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s recovery and return from an ankle injury has been confirmed by Jurgen Klopp.

Dominik Szoboszlai missed Liverpool’s most recent friendly due to an ankle issue, but Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he will return against. Leicester.

Szoboszlai started the Reds’ first preseason game against Karlsruher SC and participated for 45 minutes as they won 4-2; however, he sat out the Reds’ subsequent 4-4 draw with Greuther Furth.

However, Szoboszlai was spotted with the group after arriving in Singapore on Thursday, and in his press conference prior to Sunday’s match against Leicester, Klopp stated: “Dom is back. ”.

He told reporters, “He will train tonight, and if nothing happens here he will play tomorrow night.

“Good,” I say.
Nothing too serious happened.

We have a lot of intense sessions, and at that exact moment, he just slightly rolled his ankle.

“We all know anything can happen there, but nothing really happened other than the fact that he needed to rest and receive proper care for a few days.

“After a short while, he was back running.

“He was now in training yesterday, but yesterday was obviously not intense – after the long trip we had to just shake the legs a little bit, play a little rondo and the boys were shooting a little bit after the session, that’s all.

The game is tomorrow, and tonight will be a formal practice.
Nothing speaks currently against him playing.
”.

Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic chose not to travel to Singapore because, despite being close to recovering from injuries, the flights would have “cost [them] two, three, maybe four days of training,” according to Klopp. ”.

In a critical stage of the boys’ rehabilitation, he continued, “we thought it makes no sense.”.

At least Bajcetic will participate in team practice “as soon as we get home.”. ”
